There are few things that loving parents are not willing to do to ensure the safety of their children. Unfortunately, keeping a child safe all of the time can be a very difficult thing. One of the ways in which children might come into danger is when they are not under a parent’s supervision, such as when they are in the care of a nanny.

While it is frightening to think that a person who seemed to be a qualified caregiver may be responsible for contributing to the serious injury or death of a child, it does happen. If you have a child who was seriously injured or killed due to the negligence of a caregiver, contact the experienced St. Petersburg personal injury lawyers of Beltz & Ruth, P.A at 800-931-4369 for more information.

While there are instances of nannies engaging in abusive acts towards children, the majority of personal injury cases involving child care takers involve negligence. Instances of negligence leading to injury or death include:

• Failure to supervise children in dangerous situations (ie.while swimming, while playing near stairs, while playing with dangerous toys)
• Improper care given when feeding a child
• Failure to acknowledge requests for assistance from children
• Allowing the child to leave the house unsupervised

It is the job of a nanny to protect your children. When a nanny fails to provide for the needs of your child, he or she should be held accountable for his or her careless actions.
